KC mayoral candidate Mark Funkhouser hopes to bring a little "Hardball" or "Larry King Live" TV to Kansas City, if he's elected.
Funkhouser announced today that his administration will hold "town hall" meetings in different neighborhoods each week, plus broadcast a live call-in show each week from City Hall on the city government's Channel 2.
This blog's readers can be creative sometimes, so run with it and think up some possible titles: "Meet the Funk"? "Funk Around Town"?
Funkhouser says the meetings and the show are ways to improve city communications and openness with citizens. Here's his campaign's press release .

Hold me back. The F(l)unk is sooo cool. Maybe his show can feature stupid pet tricks, like cramming your dog's mouth full of peanut butter so you can make it (not) look like it's talking.

Where are your parents? This is no place for highschoolers. You ridicule the dog ad yet it brought thousands of viewers to the website. Many of whom are keeping open minds and not working for another candidate. It doesn't bother me that you dislike the ad or ridicule it-I doubt you are old enough to vote.

I ridicule the F(l)unk's lame web video, and you ridicule me? Want to talk about "highschoolers." You kool aid drinking F(l)unk lovers are really turning off a lot of people. Give it a rest already.

I think the weekly town hall meeting with call-in questions is biting off more than he can chew. If he is really working as hard as he's promising to work - I don't see how he will have time for the production of this meeting every week. I am filing this under "believe it when I see it."

sounds like a great idea!

You're darn right I ridiculed you and I'm going to do it again and again until you can take an actual issue with Funkhouser and debate it. And than I'll ridicule you again for being wrong. And how could you possibly know who is turned on and off by reading this blog. According to latest polls, and word around town a lot of people are turned ON to Funkhouser's message. I just like to make sure you other campaign peoples aren't getting too out of hand.

Boy Funk he thinks he is going to win. We need a serious person for mayor not someone who thinks the he is cute and cleaver. With his ideas this city will be hurting for sure. Wake up Kansas City before it is too late!

8:52 are you serious? surely you can't be. anybody who knows anything knows that Funkhouser is serious. too serious for many-you would know this had you been paying any attention-because Funk has been criticized for being just that-too serious. get a clue pal.
